This is one of the bottles we brought with us on our trip to Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture in November 🤗.
This sake will be shipped only to special dealers in Niigata Prefecture and in limited quantities!
The rice used is 100% Ipponshime produced in Uonuma (rice suitable for sake brewing)
Polishing ratio is 48
Alcohol content is 16%.
Sake quality is Junmai Daiginjo, unfiltered raw sake
Sake degree is ±0
The aroma upon opening the bottle is gorgeous and fruity, reminiscent of fruit. The fruity aroma is particularly sweet, with pineapple, white peach, and pear-like fruitiness.
When poured into a sake cup, it is almost clear and transparent in nature, feeling light, smooth and not too heavy.
The first sip reveals a smooth, fruity, fresh mouthfeel like white peaches and pears. The palate is full and round, with a full-bodied, rounded flavor, with the flavor of rice spreading through the mouth. The acidity is moderate and supports the entire wine nicely. The aftertaste is smooth and does not drag on the sweetness. A subtle umami and a hint of ginjo aroma linger.
Although it is a pure sake, it has an elegant aftertaste that does not leave a heavy aftertaste.
It is fresh and gorgeous, as only new sake can be. It has a taste that allows you to fully appreciate the flavor of rice 😆.
Rice: Ipponshime
Acidity: 1.7
Sake meter degree: +2
Alcohol degree: 16
Rice polishing ratio: 48
I bought a bottle at Ponshukan when I visited Echigo Yuzawa and opened it on New Year's Day.
It has a soft aroma, with a slight schwarziness.
Fresh, slightly sweet and sour.
My favorite type!
The taste is so sharp that you find yourself emptying your glass.
I drank Tazake at lunchtime, but at night I drank Takachiyo! This one has a Sake meter of +19!
It is dry and light! It is dry, light, and has a good sharpness!
It has a classic feel.
It has a nice umami or sweetness from the rice, probably due to the flat rice polishing.
It is completely different from Hiragana, Takachiyo. Even the same brewer can make such different sake.
Here is what we have for you after you are done preparing for the New Year. It was purchased in Niigata in the fall. Junmai Daiginjo-shu brewed with only one bottle of Uonuma sake. It is delicious with a gorgeous aroma and fine richness.

This year I am exempted from the New Year's Eve night shift, which I have worked for the past two years in a row, and it has been a while since I have participated in a countdown outside of the workplace to welcome the New Year 🥰.
I went downtown for a New Year's Eve party with a friend whose schedule I couldn't quite fit in.
First, we went to [Shima & Coffee & Sake], which had announced a [small restaurant event] 🚶.
They have a wide selection of drunken drinks, so let's start with this one 🍶!
We'll start with this one 🍶 "Takachiyo, Shin Takachiyo, A-TYPE, broken".
I've drunk Kanji and Hiragana, but this is my first time to drink Katakana. ✨️ [HinaHanaMama], or [TakachiyoMama], made me want to drink "Takachiyo" 🤩.
The aroma is like a mellow pear, the mouthfeel is slightly gassy, and the taste is juicy, sweet, and umami, with a mildly sweet aftertaste.
Oh, this is badass, I love this one!
The dish was "soaked Chinese cabbage with grated radish and baby sardines" (🍴), which was served to customers who made reservations in advance.
Good evening, Mr. Jive.
I think the New Year's countdown is going to be a different view than usual due to the New Year's Eve night shift exemption 🎵.
After all, I didn't get to drink much Takachiyo-san this year, either...
Yabasai Shin Takachiyo-san, I want to try next year!
Hey ma-ki-chan, here's another one for you ☀☀☀!
I've had zero seconds between the end of the year and the beginning of the year for the last two years, so I think I'll be able to feel the end of the year properly this year 😅.
[I'm sure you're looking forward to the "Takachiyo" challenge too 🤣.
Good morning, Gyve 😃Congratulations on earning the New Year's Eve night shift exemption 🎉I'm sure your family will be happy to have you home for New Year's Eve ☺️ I've been following your New Year's Eve party and I hope you are enjoying a good gulp of alcohol 🥰.
Good morning, Wakata-san!
Actually, my wife and kids went back to my in-laws' house to play with my cousins, so it's just me at home on New Year's Eve 🤣.
I'll be counting down the days at [Shima] again tonight and opening a bottle of drunken sake 🥰.
Takachiyo~!
It is a daiginjo only available at this time of the year!
Sweet!
Rich sweetness and gorgeousness like syrup!
It's just like Niigata, I'm so happy!
At the lodge where we are staying!
It's a wonderful place with an owner who is also a certified sake taster!

My son's friend is staying with us today ‼️
We will start the evening with our izakaya cuisine 🍶Today's snacks are steamed dumplings, sweet potatoes🍠, steamed tofu and octopus sashimi and 4 small plates‼️
Tonight we opened a bottle of this one 😚 Takachidai has a sweet and juicy impression, but this one is +19, which is quite dry 💦I'm looking forward to it.
Tonight, again with hot sake...the aroma is mildly sweet and delicious 🤤The initial attack is a gentle sweetness, and then the spiciness kicks in, and it's a nice sake with a clean cut ✨👊The spiciness with a punch is also delicious 😋😋 and it goes on and on 🤤😋😋🤤😋. I'm sure you'll love it 🤤🤤🤤.
Good morning, TOMO 😃.
Dinner at home 🏮 pub! I like it!
I'm sure dry Kanji Takachiyo will go perfectly with steamed basket dishes 😋 Dry with a sweet aroma is delicious 😋.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😊.
You're right, a dry sake with a sweet aroma is delicious and you can keep drinking it forever 😋.
I think this kind of sake can push the snacks to the next level 🤔.
